Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Road Series Special DC-11E brings a dreadnought cutaway body together with a spruce top, sapele back and sides, and scalloped X-bracing. It is a right-handed, six-string acoustic-electric with a 20-fret neck, Performing Artist profile, and high-performance taper. Martin E1 electronics place volume, tone, and phase controls at the soundhole and include a built-in tuner, useful when tuning or adjusting between songs. The gloss top and satin back and sides are paired with a supplied softshell case for transport.
